Hi steemians!
I am going to tell you a story in response to inuke’s story writing challenge # 3: Message beyond the grave.

SOURCE

There was a rich man in the town, he had several servants working in his home, and one of them was Ramu.
Ramu was basically a lazy and greedy person, he was not able to progress to success because of his greed and laziness. There are many people succeed in the life, who joined the job after him.

His greed leads him to steal money and costly things. Just like that once, he stole a golden necklace from his boss's room, it has a lot of sentimental value for boss's wife. They suspect Ramu, because he was the only person who would go into the room, since they have trusted him.

"Ramu have you seen my necklace, that I left in my room," she asked to Ramu.
He shook his head " No, I didn’t see" he lied. After that incident they didn't allow him the room any more.
Years passed, due to the old age his boss becomes sick, He was suffering from cancer and died. Several people attend the funeral ceremony since he was a rich man. They have made a royal coffin for his body.In the coffin they put some of his favorite things like goggles, pouch, wrist watch, pipe, etc. also they left his diamond ring with him, which is more precious.

Ramu watch these things, and decided to steal at lease the diamond ring. His focus was on the ring throughout the day. They buried his body in their own land, in a concrete cemetery, and closed it with a granite stone lid.
